Whenever you think of God, what do you think of Him looking like?

John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

I’ve seen Jesus in dreams, each time different and unique.

In one I saw only his lower legs he was wearing white linen
pants and sandals. I was like a sheep being led by Him, so The
Good Shepherd is spot on.

In another I saw Him dazzling brilliant blinding light.

Still another I was walking with Him like a child hand in hand
with the father.

In another as a teacher leaning at a desk.

The common theme across them all has been Jesus dressed in
spotless, whiteness, sometimes brilliant dazzling white.

It comes as no surprise to me that the following verses
describe Him as white as snow.


Revelation 1:14 NKJV
[14] His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and
His eyes like a flame of fire;

Thats true, but the Bible frequently refers to God's appearance using symbolism. How would you think of God looking in terms that symbolize his nature?

Recently I've visualized God as an infinite, burning ocean of healing frankincense, constantly producing New Wave music. Strange, but true.

I don't.

Hard to explain so I'll just use terms and people can use their imaginations. :)

I don't believe I've ever wondered what He looks like.
I'm very thankful that I know and have experienced what He is like though. 💓

I second the God in dreams. However he is different in them too.

-One time I was swinging from his hands which were huge. We were both laughing. I think his arms were golden.

-Another he was talking to me as a professor. He told me something in Greek. When I looked it up it he told me something that ended up happening in the future. It was something amazing. He was an old man.

-Another time I met an angel. Not exactly God, but when I woke up I said that was Jesus. He was in white, crown, gold hair. It was more about the holiness and the beauty you could actually feel though. I've never felt those emotions before but I look forward to it in the future.

-Had another where I was flying over a stream with I consider an angel. He was old man, dressed in white.

I typically picture him in white, gold, and huge which is my experience. Even the angels...my hand is like a toddlers in their hand. And I'm not that short. :p
